About This Seminar
This seminar contains the distilled knowledge from a decade of intensive BRS experience
in using the Business Rules Approach to harvest rules from a wide variety of industries,
including insurance, banking, regulatory, inspections, utilities, and transportation.
It demystifies the daunting task of facing unending pages of text, and wondering how to
go about getting out all the rules.
In this seminar, you will dive deep into analyzing source documents, harvesting rules,
and organizing the results following an eight step plan. The class’s workshop case study
features typical source material. You will be shown how to layout a plan of attack, extract
the information you need, identify issues, harvest the rules, write rule statements in
a consistent manner, validate the rules with business people, and manage the results.
Dress comfortably and be ready to work!
